Humility in Satire: The Individual According to Alexander Pope and Henry Fielding. This essay analyses two writers of the Restoration period - Alexander Pope and Henry Fielding - as a way to understand their different beliefs about the individual. The essay examines the history, the style of neoclassical writing, and the uses of satire for determining the differences and similarities between the two writers. Both are neoclassicists and satirists, but Pope is an optimist who argues for acceptance of fate, and Fielding is a realist who argues for chaos and reasonable acceptance of human limitations. 10 pgs.
